Scroll down about half way here if you would like to see a picture of an Israeli F-15 that landed with a missing wing.

“Does the IAF even have F-15s?”

Yes, however … I was unaware homemade rockets could reach Tel Aviv from Lebanon. Especially ones that could kill 23 people a month in the future, when Netanyahu is Prime Minister.

Did anybody else listen to Gillerman on O’Reilly last night? It was a bit hard to continue watching after the CAIR interview… O’Reilly was OK, didn’t let him get away with too much but the guy refused to give a straight answer to WAAAY too man questions… (then again, did you expect anything different??)

Anyway, by the time Gillerman started to wind down at the end there was a great line. He was talking about the UN security council and he said something along the lines of “I don’t think they care for us much, but they care about their reputation and I think they realize they let the world down. Because if they’d have enforced 1559 they wouldn’t need 1701, and if they don’t enforce 1701 we don’t need them.” [emphasis mine throughout]

No kidding sherlock!

A month in the future? Is that some sort of satire site? Does the IAF even have F-15s?

I agree this is well argued. When I heard last nite about the rockets not making it into Israel, that was my first thought. They have pushed them back and destroyed the big launchers to such an extent Hezbo is unable to reach Israel at this point. Now the FRENCH are on the way to assist the Lebanese Army (I know, a joke in there somewhere)in disarming the Hezbos. That is what is going to be interesting. Will Iran, " a stablizing influence in an unstable region(quote a French Foreign Minister)REALLY order the Hezbos to resist or FIGHT their French buddies? STAY TUNED!

Debka’s line is well-argued IMO. The main consequence of Israel’s lackluster conduct/performance in the war, and the largest strategic setback for the West, is Hezbollah’s further undermining of Lebanese sovereignty which could lead to quasi-official support for Hez’s existence. That is something Iran can be happy about — unless they have some shorter-term need that is more important, such as Hezbollah in tip-top fighting shape for a manuever within the next 3-4 months.

Iran can only bank Hez’s political gains over the longer term, in the >6 mos. timeframe, as it will take them a while to rearm the Hezzies. In the meantime Hez is, objectively speaking, a weaker fighting force.

It’s a tough week when your only good news is fantasies from DEBKA.
